Seahawks swoop in on QB Daniels

Rookie quarterback B.J. Daniels, released Tuesday by the 49ers, has been claimed off waivers by none other than the Seattle Seahawks, the latest chapter in a division rivalry that’s resulted in cunning roster moves all year.

Daniels was replaced on the 49ers’ quarterback corps by fourth-year veteran John Skelton.

Coach Jim Harbaugh said earlier Tuesday the 49ers were hoping to re-sign Daniels to their practice squad, assuming he cleared waivers. The seventh-round draft pick out of South Florida showed enough promise in the exhibition season to lure at least the Seahawks, who sport a 4-0 record.
